University of Alaska seeks bids to reline UAS Juneau campus water main
The University of Alaska is seeking bids to rehabilitate nearly half a mile of drinking water main at the University of Alaska Southeast's Juneau campus. Bids are due Nov. 25.
Crews would slide new plastic pipe, known as HDPE, inside about 2,560 feet of existing ductile iron mains, a method called slip lining, according to the university's bid notice. The job also includes digging and restoring access pits, replacing and reconnecting fittings, setting up temporary water service, and testing and disinfecting the pipe.
The university estimates the winning contractor could get the go-ahead Dec. 18, with substantial completion by June 19, 2027, according to its bid listing.
